8、lture shock is a psychological condition that happens to adults who are adjusting to a new culture. People who are experiencing culture shock go through four basic stages as they learn how to function in a new culture. First they see through rose colored glasses as in a “honeymoon“. The new culture
9、provides fun and adventure. Soon, though, the fact that they really must adapt to the new culture sinks in and the second stage of culture shock begins. This is characterized by a desire to run away from the whole experience. The third stage of culture shock involves even more resistance. The people
10、 in culture shock fight with the ideas, values and expectations of the new culture. Finally, culture shock resolves with the fourth stage, acceptance. The people figure out how to fit in. 11 Good morning! Im so excited to be here. It would be a thrill for anyone to be invited to speak at such a comm
11、encement. This is where genius lives. Theres a flexibility of mind here, an openness to change, an eagerness for whats new. This is where people come to discover the future, and have fun doing it. There are so many remarkable things going on here at this campus, but if I had to put into one word wha
12、t I love most about this university its the optimism. Theres an infectious feeling here that innovation can solve every problem. Optimism, for me, is not a passive expectation that things are going to get better. For me, its a conviction and a belief that we can make things better. So no matter how
13、much suffering we see, no matter how bad it is, we can help people if we dont lose hope and if we dont look away. (Applause). Even in dire situations, optimism fuels innovation and leads to new approaches that eliminate suffering. But if you never really see the people that are suffering, your optim
14、ism cant help them. You will never change their world. The modern world is an incredible source of innovation and your university stands at the center of that, creating new companies, new schools of thought, prize-winning professors, inspired art and literature, miracle drugs, and amazing graduates.
15、 Whether you are a scientist with a new discovery, or working in the trenches to understand the needs of the most marginalized, you are advancing amazing breakthroughs in what human beings can do for each other. The pessimists are wrong, in my view. But they are not crazy. If innovation is purely ma
16、rket driven, and we dont focus on the inequities, then we could have amazing advances and inventions that leave the world even more divided. If our optimism doesnt address the problems that affect so many of our fellow human beings, then our optimism needs more empathy. If empathy channels our optim
17、ism, we will see the poverty and the disease and the poor schools. We will answer with our innovations and we will surprise the pessimists. Over the next generation, you, the graduates, will lead a new wave of innovation. Which problems will you decide to solve? If your world is wide, you can create
18、 the future we all want. If your world is narrow, you may create the future the pessimists fear. I think most of you have a broader world view than I had at your age. You can do better at this than I did. If you put your hearts and minds to it, you can surprise the pessimists. We are eager to see it
19、. (Applause). So here is our appeal to you all. As you leave this university, take all your genius and your optimism and your empathy, and go change the world in ways that will make millions of people optimistic. You dont have to rush. You have careers to launch and debts to pay and spouses to meet
20、and marry. Thats plenty enough for right now. But in the course of your lives, perhaps without any plan on your part, you will see suffering thats going to break your heart. And when it happens, dont turn away from it. Thats the moment that change is born. Congratulations and good luck to all the gr

29、到人们由衷的钦佩。 【知识模块】 英译汉 9 【正确答案】 我很兴奋地得知,越来越多的学生正得到出国留学的机会。如大家所知,中国目前是美国留学生的第五大热门目的地。而在今天的美国,来自中国的交换生数量也是最多的。尽管如此,还是有太多的学生从未有过这样的机会,而一些有机会的学生则犹豫是否要抓住它。也许他们觉得只有有钱的学生或来自某类大学的学生才可以出国留学。也许他们会想 “嗯,这听起来很有趣,但它在我的生活中有多大用处 ?”相信我,我理解这些年轻人,因为我在上大学时也有同样的想法 。 【知识模块】 英译汉 10 【正确答案】 文化冲击是成年人在适应新文化过程中所经历的一种心理状态。经历文化冲击的
30、人要经过四个基本阶段之后才能适应新文化。首先,就像在“蜜月期 ”那样,他们透过玫瑰镜片来看待新文化中的乐趣和冒险。很快,当他们意识到自己必须适应并完全理解新文化的时候,文化冲击的第二个阶段开始了。这一阶段的特征是人们渴望逃离所经历的一切。在文化冲击的第三个阶段,人们的抗拒心理更加强烈,他们与新文化中的想法、价值观、期望进行抗争。最终,文化冲击进入第四个阶段,接受,即人们找到了适 应新文化的方法。 【知识模块】 英译汉 11 【正确答案】 早上好 !来到这里我非常兴奋。任何人受邀到这样一场毕业典礼上做演讲都会觉得激动无比。 这里是人才的摇篮。这里有着灵活的思维、乐于接受改变的开放态度以及对新鲜事
31、物的渴求。在这里,人们探索未来并享受其中。在这所校园里,每时每刻都有不同凡响的事情发生,但如果要我用一个词来概括我对这所大学的挚爱 那便是“乐观 ”。这里有一种极富感染力的精神,即创新可以解决所有问题。 乐观对我而言,并非被动地期待事情会变好,而是一种信念,相信 我们可以做得更好。因此不论我们目睹了多少痛苦,不论事情如何糟糕,只要我们不放弃希望,不转头离去,我们就能够伸出援手。即便身处绝境,乐观精神也会激励创新,从而找到消除痛苦的新方法。但如果你从未见过受苦受难的人们,你的乐观也将无能为力。你也永远不会改变他们的世界。 现代世界是一个不可思议的创新之源,而贵校正是创新的核心。这里孕育了许许多多
32、的新公司、新的思想流派、硕果累累的教授、富有灵感的艺术和文学、创造奇迹的药品,还有卓越的毕业生。无论你是收获新发现的科学家,还是工作在了解最边缘化需求的第一线,你都在为 人类相互间的协作做出惊人的突破之举。 在我看来,悲观主义者是错误的,但他们并不疯狂。如果创新纯粹由市场驱动,我们都不关注不平等现象,那么我们的惊人进步和发明会令世界更加分裂。如果我们的乐观精神无法用来解决那些影响芸芸众生的问题,那么我们的乐观需要融人更多的同情心。若同情心能引导我们的乐观主义,我们就会关注贫困、疾病及教育匮乏问题。我们就会以创新作答,使那些悲观主义者震惊。 在下一代中,你们,这些毕业生们,将引领新一波的创新浪潮
33、。你们将要解决哪些问题 ?如果你们的世界是宽广的,就能创造出我们理想 的未来;如果你们的世界是狭隘的,就会创造出悲观主义者恐惧的未来。我想,你们中的大多数人都比当时的我视野更宽广,你们会比我做得更好。你们如果全心全意地投入于此,就可以使那些悲观主义者震惊。我们迫不及待地想看到这一天。 因此,我们向你们所有人呼吁。在你们离开这所大学之时,带上你们的天赋、乐观及同情心,去改变这个世界,让无数的人为之乐观起来。无须着急,因为你们还要开创事业、偿还欠款、找寻另一半并建立家庭,你们当前要做的事情已经足够多了。但在你们的一生当中,也许是不经意地,你们就会目睹那些令人心碎的苦难。这 时,不要转身离开,因为改
